No, in high winds you let the boom slew ;-)

Q. Wont the storm surge be worse in Naples once the hurricane moves far enough north to allow its S/SW winds hit the shore?

Most definitely lol, it would snap the central tower in far lower winds. They do make a very good weather vane though! :-D

True... though from what they said, the WXChasing plan is to move away from the surge after they get into the eye.

I stand by my earlier assessment. lol - braver, more stupid, or more in the know. lol

In other news, the Marco Island crane is apparently still standing.

I fancy Jeff gets overexcited more than anything.

Compare and contrast with the guy in the WXChasing stream who's just sitting there calmly going "Oh yeah.. if you're wondering what I'm doing, I've just gotta keep the nose of the car into the wind".

That's one cool customer.

Totally agree! however (if you remove the danger / destruction etc for a second) I find Jeff "entertaining", but then at the same time with a storm like what the other guy was capturing you really didn't need to say anything.

Water still rising in downtown Miami along Brickell Avenue. Storm surge is intense. Neck deep in areas.

His voice never stops you mean! 

Having chased numerous times in Tornado Alley on the same storms as him the exaggeration is all for viewer numbers sadly.

Still never forgiven him for not even saying thank you when me and my team pulled his car and his support tv crews car out of a ditch in Colorado 4 years back.

Not even as much as a Thank you on the day or after when I messaged him on facebook

Manners Cost nothing! If he was in a ditch in his big red suv again would we stop ?? Nope but we would take pictures!

Ask Nick F he was there and he like me cannot stand the bloke!

That's not just a lack of manners - sounds like there's something wrong with him in that case!

Well that is a shame as he comes across as a likeable friendly guy on his feed, I would feel the same way as you in that case.

I confess, there is a bit of an edge to his commentary where it reminds me a little of various Ghost Hunter type programmes... though to be perfectly fair to the guy, he is at least in a storm, whereas ghost hunters on TV typically make it up entirely.

Anyway back on Topic, 

Who thinks this is going to go across Florida and across to the East Coast or ride up the coast ?

Thats the next question with Irma who clearly has a mind of her own!
